Castle Crush Fire Elemental Update!

Castle Crush Fire Elemental Update!

Published: December 20th, 2018

In today’s Castle Crush update video, we are going to look at the brand new card: Fire Elemental!  I am also going to cover the balance adjustments that were included in this update and discuss how they may effect Rush Deck players.

Fire Elemental is the newest addition to the “Elemental” gang in Castle Crush.  He has a very powerful ability that can be deadly against Archers, Skeletons, etc.  In this video, we will take a look at Fire Elemental’s stats and even check out some Fire Elemental Game-play footage, courtesy of the official Castle Crush YouTube channel.

Update 20.12, which was released earlier today, is a very important Castle Crush update.  Not only does it introduce the new card Fire Elemental, but it also includes a few balance adjustments.

One of these adjustments in particular is going to greatly effect anyone that uses a ‘Rush Deck‘.  The Standard Bearer is a staple in almost every Castle Crush Rush Deck.  In the past, his ability would give a +66% speed boost to all troops in his lane.  This massive speed boost allowed players to quickly attack enemy castles, before their opponent would even have a chance of defending.

But as of today, the Standard Bearer is basically having his ability cut in half.  So, instead of giving friendly troops a +66% speed boost, he will now only give +33% speed to friendly heroes.

This adjustment is going to greatly effect Rush Deck players and could possibly kill the Rush Deck as we know it.  But honestly, I feel this was a much needed adjustment, as the Standard Bear was over-powered, in my opinion.

Is this the end of Rush Decks? Probably not.  But at least now we will have a better chance of defending against them.

This latest balance adjustment also impacts Skull Queen and the Orc Horde.  In this video we will also take a look at these new stat adjustments and discuss how they will effect Castle Crush game-play.

I am really looking forward to unlocking Fire Elemental and you can bet that I will have a brand new Fire Elemental game-play video in the very near future!

I hope you enjoyed this Castle Crush Update 20.12 analysis video!  If there are any topics you’d like to see me cover in an upcoming video, please let me know in the comment section!

Castle Crush Black Witch Deck!

Castle Crush Black Witch Deck!

Published: December 12th, 2018

In today’s Castle Crush video we are going to take a look at my brand new legendary card: Black Witch!

As you may know, I have been hoping to unlock the Black Witch for quite some time.  Last night she finally appeared in my store during my Castle Crush live-stream and thankfully I had enough gold saved to afford the unlock fee.  So, I went ahead and finally got her unlocked.

The Black Witch’s appearance in my store could not have been timed better, because (as predicted) once I reached Castle 8, I immediately went on a horrible losing streak.  This wasn’t the first time I’ve gone on a losing streak after reaching a new castle.  Unfortunately, it happens very often (basically every single time I enter a new castle for the first time).

Apparently, I’m not the only Castle Crush player effected by these insane losing streaks.  There are actually entire reddit threads dedicated to this very topic. I’m not going to go into detail about the conspiracy theories surrounding Castle Crush’s matchmaking.

Castle Crush Black Witch Deck!

However, I will say that after today, I’m looking at them in a whole new light and no longer can I brush off or discredit them.  But that’s not what this video is about, so, I’m not going to go on a rant.

This video is about my newly unlocked Black Witch and the current deck I have assembled for her.  It appears to be working pretty well after limited testing, but as always, I would really appreciate and tips and/or feedback you may have for me.

Do you think my current Black Witch deck is properly configured?  Are there any changes you would make?  Which cards and strategies work best with Black Witch?  If you have the answers to these questions, I would greatly appreciate your advice.

Thanks for watching my latest Castle Crush video!  I started doing Castle Crush live-streams a few nights ago and I plan to continue doing them on a regular basis.  However, I’m really not in the mood to do a live-stream or even play Castle Crush at the moment, so I won’t be sreaming tonight.  Follow me on twitter (@TheSmashTherapy) to get updates on my Castle Crush live-stream schedule and any new videos I am working on and to check out my current Castle Crush videos, head over to the official Smash Therapy Gaming channel on YouTube!

Thanks again for watching my latest Castle Crush video.  I hope you enjoyed it!

Castle Crush – Giant Spectres!

Castle Crush – Giant Spectres!

Published: December 7th, 2018

In today’s Castle Crush gameplay video, I will be showing you some of the biggest Spectres ever!  I have been running a little experiment for the past few weeks, trying to find the best method for growing enormous Spectres in Castle Crush and the results are pretty crazy!

This video will feature 4 of the biggest, strongest, most insane Spectres I’ve ever grown, including one Spectre that is hands-down the absolute most powerful troop I’ve ever seen since I started playing Castle Crush!

What is the biggest Spectre you have ever spawned?  What about the biggest you’ve ever played against?  Let me know in the comment section!  I am curious to know where exactly my particular giant Spectres stand.

Castle Crush – Giant Spectres!

Most INSANE Castle Crush Victory EVER!!

Most INSANE Victory EVER!! (Daily Crush #6)

Published: December 2nd, 2018

Every once in awhile, I run into a Castle Crush opponent that is much stronger than myself.  But these mismatches are rather rare, as I feel the match-making in Castle Crush is usually on point.

However, it’s a whole different story when playing tournament mode, due to the fact that there is no limit on the level your opponent might be.  This means you may face much weaker opponents or you may end up facing much stronger opponents.

It just depends on who is playing the tournament mode at the same time as you.  But as many strong opponents as I have seen over the months of me playing Castle Crush, I’ve never come into contact with anyone that even comes close to the power of the opponent featured in this video!

His name is Flotsen and he is hands down the single strongest opponent I’ve ever faced in my Castle Crush career!  Period. Nobody else even comes close!

At the time of filming this video, Flotsen’s trophy count was at 6308 (more than triple my trophy count at the time) and he has topped out at over 7100+ trophies in the past!  So, needless to say, when I saw who I was up against, I instantly assumed the worst and figured this would surely be a loss, ending my tournament run.

Once the game began and I saw the deck he was working with, I almost couldn’t believe my eyes! It seemed as if every single card he played was a Legendary card!  One after another, he started spawning legendary cards all over the map and it seemed as if his legendary arsenal was never ending!

This was definitely rather disheartening, as I had only 1 Legendary card in my deck at the time: my Archer Queen). (See video: Castle Crush Update! Plus Legendary Drop!)

However, I decided to remain positive and try my best to compete against Flotsen’s legendary army and I am very glad that I did, because this decision led to what is now my single greatest Castle Crush victory EVER!

Most INSANE Victory EVER!! (Castle Crush Gameplay)

I almost couldn’t believe my eyes when his castle fell to the ground and he ‘Victory’ message popped up onto he screen.  I did it!  I actually managed to defeat the hands-down strongest player that I’ve ever come into contact with!

After the match, I quickly searched for his profile, so that I could see just how many legendary cards he was working with.  To my surprise, he had not just 1 or 2 legendary cards.  Not 3 or 4 or even 5 legendary cards… Nope!

His deck had a total of 7 freaking Legendary cards, from various castles, including many which I haven’t ever seen in battle!

Moral of the Story: Don’t underestimate yourself and never give up even when things look bad!  Because you just may have what it takes to surprise yourself and beat that “unbeatable” opponent!

I would like to say thank you and send a big shout out to Flotsen and his Angry Army clan! Good game, my friend!  Hopefully we can do it again some time!  You have one hell of a deck and I’m sure you will be even stronger the next time we run into each other!

If there are any Castle Crush topics you would like to see me cover in an upcoming video, please let me know in the comment section! Also, I appreciate any feedback you may have for me, just please keep it (relatively) clean.

I hope you enjoy watching this INSANE Castle Crush gameplay video just as much as I did creating it!

Thanks for watching!

Castle Crush Rush Deck Killers!

Castle Crush Rush Deck Killers!

Published: November 14th, 2018

The Castle Crush Rush Deck offers players a way to flood the map with attackers for very little cost.  It can be one of the hardest (not-to-mention most annoying) Castle Crush decks to defend against.  (See my previous videos covering Rush Deck tips: Gone in 60 Seconds and Insane Mana Ritual Rush Deck!)

That is why I decided to put together a list of the best Castle Crush Rush Deck Killers!  In this video, we will examine the top 12 cards that I feel are best for defending against Castle Crush Rush Decks!

I will explain why I chose each card and give examples of how I personally have used them in battle.  I will also discuss some of the most effective strategies I’ve had used against my own Castle Crush Rush Deck.

I hope this video helps you understand exactly what a Castle Crush Rush Deck is, why they are so effective and (most importantly) steps you can take to help defend against them.  Please keep in mind that I am in currently in Castle 6.  Therefore, my list of Castle Crush Rush Deck Killers will only include cards from Castles 1 – 6.

How do you feel about my list of Castle Crush Rush Deck Killers?  Do you agree with the cards and strategies I’ve laid out in this video?  Voice your opinion in the comment section and let me know which Rush Deck Killers you find to be most effective.

Thanks for watching!

Insane Mana Ritual Rush Deck! (Daily Crush #4)

Insane Mana Ritual Rush Deck! (Daily Crush #4)

Published: November 12th, 2018

Today’s Castle Crush video, will be the 4th episode in our new series: Daily Crush!  In this episode we will look at an INSANE Mana Ritual / Extra Crystal / Black Knight rush deck, that helped me manage to go on a 10+ game winning streak!

Check out our previous video: ‘Is Mana Ritual Good?!’ for more information about Mana Ritual and our initial impression upon unlocking it.  At first, I was thinking that it wasn’t very powerful and I was actually rather disappointed when I noticed it’s “limitations” based on card level.

However, I eventually figured out exactly how Mana Ritual works and I put together a killer rush deck that utilizes it in combination with ‘Extra Crystal’ and a Black Knight, as well.  With this rush deck I was able to win well over 10 games in a row and jump approximately 300+ trophies as a result!

Insane Mana Ritual Rush Deck! (Daily Crush #4)

After we examine best way to incorporate Mana Ritual into a rush deck we will look at a killer combination that I personally use in my current deck.   There are plenty of Castle Crush deck tips, strategy and overall awesomeness in this episode of Daily Crush, so be sure to stick around ’til the end of the video!

If there are any Castle Crush topics you’d like to see me cover in an upcoming episode of Daily Crush, please let me know in the comment section.  Also, any feedback you may have is very welcome and much appreciated!

Daily Crush – Episode 1 – Fog of War/Deck Building

Daily Crush – Episode 1 – Fog of War/Deck Building

Published: November 9th, 2018

Today’s video will be the first episode in our new Castle Crush game-play series titled: ‘Daily Crush‘!

In today’s episode we will cover the Daily Game Mode: “Fog of War“.  This is a very fun and unpredictable mode of play, as the battlefield is completely covered in fog and you can only see as far as your troops have traveled.  This leads to many surprise attacks and ambushes, as you will see in this episode.

Then we will take a look at my collection and try out a new Castle 6 deck that includes some new cards I haven’t had a chance to use in battle.  These cards include: Protection, Spiked Statue and the heavy hitters Elemental Mud and Black Knight!

Thanks for checking out our very first Daily Crush episode and thank you for all the feedback we’ve received on YouTube and Reddit.  It was your feedback that led to the creation of this new series, which will stray away from opening chests and move toward actual Castle Crush game-play and tips.

We hope you enjoy this new series!  As always please drop a comment with any feedback or opinions you may have.  Also, if there is a particular topic you’d like to see Smash Therapy Gaming cover in a future video, please let us know in the comment section!

Feedback is always welcome and always much appreciated!

Thanks again! Enjoy the video!

Castle Crush – Gone In 60 Seconds! (Rush Deck Tips)

Castle Crush Update! Plus Legendary Card Drop!

Gone in 60 Seconds! (Castle Crush Rush Deck Tips)

Gone in 60 Seconds! (Castle Crush Rush Deck Tips)

November 11th, 2018

Today’s Castle Crush video is all about ‘rush’ decks!  When built and used properly, the Castle Crush ‘rush deck’ can be a very lethal weapon against any opponent!

First, I will explain exactly what a ‘rush deck’ is and why they are so powerful.  After this brief explanation, we will head over to my personal card collection and I will give an in-depth analysis of each card that is in my current ‘rush deck’.

I will breakdown the stats and abilities of each card and explain how I personally use them in battles to quickly and effectively take down my opponents.  This video is packed with tips and tricks for building your own Castle Crush ‘rush deck’, as well as strategies for effectively using them in battle!

I started uploading Castle Crush videos on a whim, basically because I needed a break from Smashing Four.  However, my Castle Crush content seems to be getting a much better response and therefore, I’m considering moving my focus from Smashing Four to do more regular Castle Crush videos.

Would you like Smash Therapy Gaming to start uploading regular Castle Crush videos?  Please drop a like and leave a comment with your opinion.

Any and all feedback is much appreciated!  I only ask that you keep it clean and friendly.

Thank you and enjoy the video!
